Faced with the cool water, this South American tapir chose to jump directly into the small river, preferring to drink to its fullness at the risk of drowning! After Fang Sheyan achieved his goal, he let it escape directly. He started to walk to the side of the small river and inspect it carefully.
The flow of the river is not large, but it is not small either. Judging from its direction, it flows to the giant marsh of Dubai, which means that at least when going there, it can use water power to pass through. Most of the wild animals in this small river can drink directly, which means that after simple treatment such as boiling, even ordinary people from outside can drink the fresh water directly.
What's more, after Fang Sheyan went up the small river not far away, he saw a rocky mountain that is not very common here, which he judged to be three kilometers away from the Dubai Swamp. This rocky mountain is probably similar to the one made in the park Given the size of the artificial mountains that come out, it is obvious that if you want to choose a camp, you must be willing to rely on a safe mountain, at least it can reduce the pressure on one side during the alert.
Soon, Fang Senyan found a big cave in a mountain depression, which was easy to find, and a forest anaconda made it his home. Fang Senyan quickly let the guy over eight meters long move out of his home in a disgruntled manner.
Snakes are notoriously not athletic creatures. In addition to their lightning speed when hunting, they also have amazing lazy grace when fleeing. If they are full, snakes can even stay in the nest for several months without moving! Therefore, under normal circumstances, the damage to the original environment in the snake's nest is the least. It's not like pigs, bears, and other creatures. It only takes two or three days to live in a place, and there can only be described as a circle. up.
Fang Sheyan walked into that cave, and the first thing he saw was a large pile of snake sloughs of astonishing size. It seemed that the unlucky anaconda had been living here for quite a long time. It's just that Sheyan's eyes immediately saw the wall of the cave, where there were clearly traces of being smoked. Yes, although Bernard Falk has been away from here for hundreds of years, Lord Falk Jr. was only in his forties when he died. , at most ten or twenty years.
In this case, even though the traces left by Bernard Falk hundreds of years ago have been blown away by rain and wind, in the special environment in this cave, the traces left by Lord Falk Jr. But it can give Sheyan a considerable degree of help! Even Mbenga's seemingly suspicious helper was rejected by Sheyan. Because Fang Senyan was afraid that the carelessness of Mbenga, a big and thick guy, would destroy the possible clues.
In the depths of this cave, Fang Senyan quickly unearthed many valuable things... two wooden boards with the obvious emblem of the Fokker family, two corpses, several bundles of rotten ropes, half of a candle made of mermaid oil, On the walls of the cave, you can see very clear traces of long and short inscriptions. In the end, Sheyan found a few pieces of linen clothes that gave off a musty smell.
To be honest, Sheyan spent a lot of energy finding these things, and it is not an easy task to identify these things. It took Sheyan four or five hours, but after finding these things, Sheyan suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard that tears flowed out.
Because Sheyan has found what he wants! !
Yes, he already felt that Bernard Falk, with the ability and identity of an ordinary person, could enter the deepest secret of the Dubai Swamp and was very close to him.
Just from these rags, just from these inconspicuous rags! !
The board can prove that Sheyan found the camp where Lord Fokker arrived in this world.
Although Westerners do not have the custom of burying the dead in peace, the dead are still not allowed to be desecrated, and the corpses of their companions are often restrained instead of being scattered around. The two corpses that appeared in the cave undoubtedly indicate that Lord Fokker is fleeing. It should not be calm and unhurried, but very hasty, so that even the corpses of his subordinates were abandoned, and there was no way to bring them back to their hometown.
As for the length of the ropes, they are at least 50 meters long when they are connected together. Sheyan can vaguely recognize that they are all very reliable lifelines. This thing is the same as modern safety ropes. If you want to go to the deck when it is bumpy, then you have to tie this thing to avoid being washed into the sea.
This also means that Little Fokker knew that he would go to a very dangerous and dangerous place. That place has to be connected to each other with ropes, to climb up and down. So everyone had to wear a lifeline, and the remaining two bundles of lifelines probably belonged to the two dead ghosts.
As for the candles made of mermaid oil, of course they are used for lighting. The first is that they burn for a long time, and the second is that they are not easy to extinguish after burning. It is equivalent to our current Spike flashlight.
The last few pieces of moldy and rotten clothes looked quite thick, and they looked like they were meant to keep out the cold. Everyone must have them. The ones that were abandoned here were specially prepared for these two dead ghosts...Damn it, this is a tropical place. Primitive jungle, the annual average temperature exceeds 28 degrees! It's known for being hot and humid here. Little Lord Fokker brought this cotton coat to keep out the cold, and everyone still has one, and the meaning behind it can be imagined.
The scratch marks on the wall are of different lengths, but they are very worrying, with an average of thirty short ones and one long one. This is naturally reminiscent of calculating time. If a short mark represents a day, then a long mark represents a month! That makes more sense. According to the notches, the exact time these people stayed here was five months and sixteen days.
Then, combine these key hidden elements together, escape in a hurry + lifeline + wolf tooth flashlight + warm clothes, the environment is a tropical rainforest. Then, based on the combination of these keywords, it is obvious that the place Lord Fokker is going to is very simple. There is no doubt that it is a dark, complex terrain, cold, and dangerous place, and this place appears in the tropical rainforest …
Therefore, the only explanation is: there is an underground cave!
This is also in line with Sheyan's previous judgment on entering the core area of Dubai. It is impossible to forcefully break into it. The only two possible ways are either through the air or underground. Since the people of Dubai can use a dry underground river as the main body of the passage to the outside world, why can't there be another secret passage
Of course, there are also many mysteries in it, such as why the local indigenous Dubaiyans did not notice and block this passage, and why Bernard Falk was able to escape unscathed after doing bad things, which is more guaranteed. One's own descendants can safely use this channel to repeat the old tricks hundreds of years later. It can be said that the secrets in it can only be known after digging deep into the secrets inside.
"Very well, the fact proves that my deduction is correct." Sheyan walked out of the dark cave, and then took a deep breath of the air outside.
"Then the next step is to find the theoretical passage. By the way, five months and sixteen days! If Bernard Falk, a guy who just landed on the African continent, stays here for five months and sixteen days It's understandable, so why do you stay here for so long after following the ancestral diary and following the map, just like the little Lord Fokker following the strategy to play the game? Is the truth of the matter...they are waiting! Yes, They must be waiting for a certain time period! Only during this time period will the damned secret passage truly appear!"
Thinking of this, Sheyan immediately grabbed the drunken Mbenga:
"Hey, Big Hei! Is there anything special that will happen in your hometown in a year? Or, is there any bizarre legend that will happen in a long time?"
After hearing this, Mbenga immediately shouted happily:
"It is said that killing ten lions in a row and eating its stuff will make you more powerful than lions!"
Fang Sheyan:
"… anything else?"
Mbenga shrugged and said:
"If you can get the stamens of the Rafflesia flower that only blooms once every ten years, you can win the heart of the darkest girl in the village."
"Brother, can we not mention things related to women?" Fang Senyan really had some dumbfounding.
Then Mbenga told a few more legends, but Sheyan didn't ask him about the things directly related to the Dubai Swamp, because if he asked more questions, Mbenga would have a splitting headache and moan loudly, which is true in the real world Known as "compulsory amnesia", the human body selectively forgets those fragments that are too scary in order to protect itself, which is extremely harmful to patients. To treat this disease, you can only take him to walk around. As long as you are on the scene, you will slowly recall some relevant memory fragments.
This is the reason why Mbenga was able to find those hidden wealth, and it is also a reasonable explanation why he would instinctively make the most correct reaction and judgment at critical moments—such as when his life is threatened, so Sheyan said Take Mbenga with you in everything, because in case of danger, the experience he gained before is likely to become a lifeline.
